The European Liberal-Globalist media is slowly and painfully awakening to the reality of US President Donald J. Trump’s new approach toward Ukraine policy.
The last time Kiev’s embattled leader backtracked on a previously agreed Mineral Deal, we heard Trump warn that ‘he was going to have big, big problems’.
And it seems that it’s already started, as reports arise that he has passed on a $50 billion deal with Kiev – funded with EU money.
Among many other priorities, Ukraine urgently needs new air defense systems.
BILD reported (translated from the German):
“Since only [in the US] the Patriot missiles are manufactured and the president has already made it clear before taking office that he no longer wants to provide Ukraine with free aid deliveries, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has now grasped at the last straw.
With financial resources from the EU and frozen Russian assets, he wanted to buy hundreds of Patriot missiles from the USA for a lot of money – unit price 5.5 million euros.
A total of 50 billion dollars (44 billion euros) is available for this, he said three days ago. ‘Give us the package, which includes both air defense and other corresponding instruments, we will pay for it’, Zelensky told Ukrainian media.”
Trump’s reaction was only shocking to those who are not paying close attention.
Trump has absolutely had it with Zelensky.
When asked about sending more Patriot missile systems to Ukraine, Trump says “you don’t start a war against someone 20 times your size, and then hope that people give you some missiles”.

“You know, he always wants to buy missiles. But you see, when you start a war, you should know that you can win that war. You can’t start a war against an opponent 20 times bigger and then hope that someone will give you missiles.”
While publicly Trump is distancing himself from all parties in the war (including the US warmongers), it is increasingly apparent that the focus of his administration is the normalization of diplomatic relations with Russia, and the development of strategic and economic partnerships with it.

That little pimp would take the weapons, then renege.
Reepers: Yesss!!
The rest of us: Not our fight. If Z's not giving us mineral rights then there's nothing in it for us to sell weapons to someone who can't pay us for them.
Diplomacy is different when you can’t buy the American President.
I was bashing him for not keeping his word. Just took a minute. No more war BS! Thank you Donald, respect a lot if you keep it up. Why did you fund Ukraine for a year though? WTF??
What a con man!! He wants to pay us with somebody else’s money.
Ukraine doesn’t have $50 billion.
Its probably money Biden promised Z-man a year ago.
How is this a “deal?”
Ukraine to sue for Billions of dollars from the federal government in court in 3...2...1
Denying Ukraine what it needs to defend itself against another genocidal invasion from Moscow is a continuation of Biden policy. If President Trump wants Ukraine to surrender he should come out and say it. It’s not difficult.
Your runt dictator sure is slow on the uptake.
Ha s a judge from Podunk ruled that the Trump Administration must give them the moola?...............
Excellent!!
Homo Zelensky and Zeepers Hardest Hit!
Runt dictator? You mean Putin? Ukraine has had 5 presidents since KGB Putin occupied the Moscow Kremlin.
We gotta put Zeepers on a suicide watch.
Zelensky has been trying to play games with President Trump. He has been insulting him in public. If I had control of missiles I would shoot 2 missiles at every one of Zelensky’s homes around the world.
Runt GloboHomoNazi Dictator Zelensky well deserves President Trump’s Disdain.
